| Blairmore
Gallery, Blairmore |
| We would
love to welcome you to our lovely Art & Craft
Gallery, located a few short miles from Dunoon along
the scenic coastal road around the Holy Loch. Our
location is stunning; at the head of the pier in
Blairmore Village, on the shore of Loch Long, with
views to the Arrochar Alps, the Loch, and the River
Clyde beyond. |

 Our Gallery is surrounded by many talented artists
and crafts people, such as Ronnie Ford, David Morrison,
Raymond Murray and Pam Glennie, who work with us
to keep displays fresh and appealing. We have a great
relationship with the Gallery Artists… they
have become our friends, and this enables us to share
with you what drives and inspires them. Many pop
in regularly for coffee and a chat, and to talk art.
Some tutor classes that we arrange, hence our ‘Arts
Venue’ 3 Star Status.
 As the largest gallery in Cowal, we display the
work of many Argyll artists, whilst inviting well
known artists such as Davy Brown and Jolomo prize
winner Keith Salmon from further afield, to
display in joint or solo exhibitions which change
every 4 or 5 weeks. Established over 10 years, but
always with its finger on the pulse, the gallery
always has something new to see; art, prints, jewellery,
ceramics, books, cards, scarves, bags and other decorative
items… we have the most extensive range of
art & crafts in one place in the whole of Cowal,
so we are the place to come to see the best that
there is on offer in the local area.
 But there is no obligation to buy. It is important
to us that every one feels comfortable coming to
the Gallery, hence we joined the Visit Scotland Quality
Assurance scheme to demonstrate that we have consistently
high standards, and that by meeting the award criteria
we have a good quality venue, with friendly service,
and a range of arts and crafts that give great choice
to the visitor, and locals alike.
We would love you to visit us and enjoy the art,
and admire the skill of the crafters, but we understand
you may be tempted to buy a present for a loved one,
or even treat yourself. We have recently added a
small range of Fair-Trade gift items to compliment
our ranges, alongside the Fair-Trade products used
in our Coffee Shop.
Once you have looked at our art, relax and enjoy
the loch-side views from the Coffee Shop area. We
serve fresh ground coffee; Latte, Espresso and Cappuccino,
tea, fruit infusions and so on. Also we serve delicious
home baked scones, tray bakes, muffins and light
snacks.
